    If you leave in the south region of Nigeria, I guess you've already known by now how beneficial "Hospital too far" leaf is. The "lapalapa leaf" is indeed worth the hype.

    Chaya, also known as 'Hospital Too Far' and 'Miracle Leaf,' is a leafy vegetable that originated in Mexico but is now widely cultivated in Nigeria's southeastern region.

    Commonly known as Tree Spinach, it is referred to by the Yoruba as 'Efo Iyana-Ipaja' and the Igbo as 'Ugu Oyibo'.

    Due to the multiple health advantages of this plant, this plant has been referred to as 'God's Gift'.

    Hospital Too Far is an excellent source of protein, vitamins, calcium, iron, and ascorbic acid, as well as a potent antioxidant.

    It is used to treat anaemia because of the high iron content and also helps enhance blood production and circulation.

    The botanical name of 'hospital too far' is Jatropha tanjorensis

    Side effects of Hospital Too Far

    Because it contains cyanide, consuming it uncooked may result in the following:

    • Blindness
    • Stomach ulcer
    • Cardiac arrest
    • Respiratory arrest
    • Cardiac arrest
    • Liver failure
    • Kidney failure
    • Poisoning
    • Vomiting
    • Diarrhoea

    It is very important that it is boiled for at least 3-5 minutes to eliminate any toxins before consumption.

    Nutrient content

    Iyana-ipaja leaf is high in vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin C, and folate. Iron and fibre are abundant in Jatropha tanjorensis. Additionally, it includes a beta-blocker.

    The preparation process for a cup of chaya tea

    Ingredients

    • 6 chaya leaves
    • 2 cups of water

    Preparation

    Bring enough water to a boil, then add the Chaya leaves and simmer for 10 minutes. For optimal benefits, drink a cup of Chaya tea three times daily before meals.

    In conclusion

    It may be consumed raw or cooked by adding it to soups, salads, or tea, or by squeezing it to extract the juice, but it should never be taken raw due to the presence of hydrocyanic acid, which is hazardous to the body when swallowed uncooked.

    It is strongly recommended that it be boiled for at least 3-5 minutes to eliminate the toxins before consumption.
